Windrazor paced back and forth as the aerial assault assembled. He quickly took stock of the new arrivals.

Ramjet and Triggerhappy. You will join Wave 2. Now that Cryotek has been reassigned, and Overlord is otherwise occupied, we're two down. Sunstorm will lead this wave. Echoshift, you shall join me in Wave 1.

I have decided on a change of plan. Wave 2 will attack immediately after Wave 1 makes its first attack run. Hopefully this will result in more damage to Fortress Maximus quickly. Remember, aim for gun emplacements, and more specifically, Anti Aircraft defence."

"StarBlade. You have free reign to act as you please after the initial attack run. You may either stay in the air, or go to ground in search of Autobot targets."

He stopped his pacing and turned to look at his troops, fixing each in turn with a steely gaze, looking for weakness and finding none.

"This is our first major offensive against the Autobots. The aim is to cripple Metroplex, and cause severe damage to the defences of Fortress Maximus. Our target is to distract the city from the infiltrators at Metroplex."

"Windrazor to Hatemonger. I am prepared. The Aerial strike team is about to depart for Fortress Maximus."

The acting Air Commander then transformed into his jet mode, the engines rising in pitch to a whine as he powered up. He quickly switched radio channels, picking a pre-planned one that allowed simultaneous communication with all the jets in his teams.

"Decepticons, scramble."

Hatemonger smiled and nodded to the rather large group of assembled Decepticons in Scorpnok.

"Scropnok, lift off, we will drop a few clicks outside of the Autobot bases during the air-strike so as to not be sitting ducks when we exit." Hatemonger looked and the other Decepticons and decided to attempt to raise the troops morale.

"Now on to battle for the glory of the Decepticons!" He yelled as he waited for Scorpnok to lift off.

Quake rolled into Scorpnok and waited.

"Looks like we made it just in time." He said as his Tiptop and Heater sat on the sides of his tank form.

Hatemonger's Office, Scorponok

The Citycon's voice boomed. "I have been preparing to do exactly that, General."

The city's parts immediately began to shift, reconfiguring itself into scorpion mode. Scorponok planted his legs in the sand and lifted himself to his full height. Huge thruster ports in his belly ignited, pushing him off the ground and into the sky. His legs folded underneath him and his claws tucked in close to his head to reduce drag. Finally his main engines fired up, and he began to move towards Autobase.

Hatemonger looked at everyone on board.

"Get close to the airlocks when we get a chance to exit. We do so. Combiner teams merge as soon as you can, if you think you can do it in mid-air even better. Everyone else open fire on anything thats Autobot. Hopefully our aerial brothern will have taking out a vast majority of the Autobot air defenses. Hit them hard and fast. In fact Blitzkreig them." Hatemonger said walking down into the group of Decpeticons.

A few of the cons in the group had a surprised look on their face. This didn't bug Hatemonger at all. This was war and he would fight right along side his comrades and fall beside them if need be.

He waited, listening on his com-link to the air group flying in.

"It doesn't matter what counts on the outside, it what counts on the inside. If you can not win a battle with out armour then you shouldn't be in the battle. But we wear it as a precation. My breathren train and work to together, we fight together, we'd die together. Predacons for life (OOC: Couldn't resist, watched Bad Bays II not long ago)."

"Not a bad outfit you got their, just make sure their ready and not 'Over ready'."

Hun-Grrr listened to the Predacon commander as he cooly smiled, rubbing his chin. He did not know how exactly to approach razorclaw with the friendly challenge and time was indeed running short, so he decided to blurt it out.

HUN-GRRR: "100 energon cubes that my Terrorcons rack up more confirmed kills then your Predacons! A friendly wager between comrades!" Hun-Grrr evily grins as once again he extends his arms to the Predacon lion.

Just then, Cutthroat runs up to Hun-Grrr as if he seen a ghost, followed by Ripper snapper and Sinnertwin.

CUTTHROAT: "Raaaargggh!!! Me don't want to form Abominus! Want to have fun first!!!!"

SINNERTWIN: "Me no want to form Abominus with Blot!!! Him too filthy, blaaaaaah!!!!"

BLOT: Over hearing his Terrorcon bretheren, "Blot maaaaaaaad!!!!!!"

But just before the Terrorcons began to pounce on one another, Hun-Grrr litterally stomps his foot as during the ground rumbling echo, the Terrorcons all freeze in their tracks.

HUN-GRRR: "We will do what we must do to kill Autobots and to win battle!!!!!!" Hun-Grrrr roars as the Terrorcons become silent before Hun-Grrr. Hun-Grrr then turns his attention to Razorclaw as he cooly returns to his previous, relaxed tone.

Hun-Grrr: "Heh, heh, we Terrorcons sometimes lack the discipline common to our fellow Decepticons due to our crude, animalistic and savage programming, but what we lack in self control, we make up in Autobot casualties.

Great Galvatron, that reminds me!!! I have to see Hatemonger before the onslaught begins so he can deactivate our automatic timer! We don't want Abominus to seperate in the middle of battle! Every since we got bored one day and formed Abominus in the hanger bay, Galvatron put us on automatic timer! Only a Decepticon commander has the authorization to deactivate it! But before I see Hatemonger do we have a deal?"

Hatemonger could hear the racket that Hun-Grr and the Terrorcons were making. He walked into the waiting area and smiled.

"Yes, I know of your automatic timer." Hatemonger scanned his databanks and saw the incident that Hun-Grr spoke of.

"Well that is a problem isn't it." He said looking at the five Terrorcons. He then took out a remote and placed it near the Hun-Grr's chest. The device glowed for a moment then beeped.

"There, that should fix that problem." For now I can disengage you rather than that unit in your chest. He then held up another unit and it did the same thing.

"Just in case, I want another commander to have a remote as well." Turning to quickly go speak with Shockwave.

He ran to Scorpnok's command deck and saw as Shockwave stood waiting for the battle to begin.

"Shockwave, the Terrorcons had a point about their automatic timer. It could be a major disadvantage in the heat of the battle to have them disengaging in the middle of the battlefield." He paused and opened up a holder in his for arm where he place his remote.

"This is a simple device, it emits the same signal that causes them to disenage. I made two devices one I will carry on the battlefield, the other I would perfer you have." He said handing out the device. He awaited Shockwave's reply.

"It's time. Blaster, once we're in, you know what to do. Hotrod, Scoop... get ready to move."

Prime brought the shuttle down, just 5 miles outside of the prison... having stayed low and fast, the ship was able to slip under the citycons' detection systems... the landing ramp lowered, and prime simply nodded to the others...

"Let's roll." Prime was at the bottom of the ramp before a moment passed, and in semi-rig mode, engine revving.

Hot Rod tranformed and gunned his engine, roaring down the ramp and effortlessly passing Optimus and Scoop.

Windrazor could feel the rush of the wind sweep past his hull as he streaked through the sky. He had studied each Decepticon under his command, and was travelling now at the speed of the slowest. Despite this, sonic booms were left echoing in their wakes.

He felt a thrill of excitement at what they were about to do. It had been a while since he'd engaged in open combat, and the former Skyscorcher leader and mercenary looked forwards to it.

"Stay alert," he ordered the other jets in the team. Although I don't think we'll be intercepted, you can't be too careful."

He activated his powerful sensors, and scanned ahead. Sure enough, he detected the forms of Metroplex and Fortress Maximus right on the extreme edge of his sensor range. He knew that it was unlikely that any of the Autobots would detect them yet.

"From now on, we maintain sensor silence," he ordered.
"No one performs any long ranged scans until we're in strike range."

Avoid engaging with the carbomiyans if possible, but most of all, if it's possible we want NO casualties. Got it? Scoop, you heard that correct?

Hot Rod wanted nothing more than to rev up his engine and tear through the gates ahead of Prime, but remembering the conversation they had just finished the young Autobot reluctantly throttled down and fell behind Prime and Scoop.

The EDC shuttle set down and Captain Brooke lead a platoon of heavily-armed troops out. "Roger that, Scoop." The soldiers trotted off behind the robotic steamshovel.

Hot Rod brought his sensors up to maximum, scanning for Marissa's DNA as well as his limited systems could. "I've got a reading, Scoop. On the other side of the compound, about three miles north-west of here."

The cavalier's engine revved, but he resisted the urge to floor his accellerator and rush to the rescue.

At that instant, prime's vehicle mode screeched to a halt, the trailer shifting into subspace.

Flooring his accellerator, the young Autobot streaked past the tanks and deep into the enemy compound.

Just in case he brought the extra energon so he could use it for a one time blast with his fusion cannons to really even the odds or allow his men time to escape. As he learned in battle his best bet was to use one cannon with extra energon and level the other one alone so he could continue to have one of his major ranged weapons along with his forearm cannon and energon sword.

His mind quickly rushed over scenes from battles lost and won, friends lost and allies gained. He smiled and was ready for battle.

Brooke took point, leading his troops though the prison bunker's Byzantine corridors. Several times, Carbombyan Royal Guardsmen tried to stop them. All of them now lay dead, while Brooke's team arrived at the bunker's one and only cell.

Using the key that he had appropriated from the highest-ranking of the guards, Brooke opened the solid steel door and swung it aside.

The woman inside the cell turned to look at the new arrivals with the sort of contempt that Brooke imagine she reserved for the guards. At any rate, the look was quickly replaced with one of absolute shock.

"Greg?"

"Yes, sir." Brooke saluted Marissa, despite the fact that they both now wore the rank of captain. He looked at the woman, somewhat surprised that she was in such good health; her hair was starting to grey in places, a few wrinkles had formed at the corners of her eyes, and she'd lost a good amount of weight. But there were no obvious signs of abuse or torture. "We're here with compliments from Optimus Prime."

"What?" Marissa frowned. "You're here to take me back, you mean?"

"Of course. What else?"

"I can't go back with you."

Brooke shook his head. "If you're worried about the work you've been doing for-"

"No, I-" Marissa sighed. "They put a cerebro-shell in my head, Greg. If I go with you, I'll end up betraying you."

That explains why they haven't mangled her, then.

"The Autobots can take it out, I'm sure."

"Maybe," Marissa didn't sound too convinced. "And what if I do something before then?"

"You can't do anything if you're unconscious."

"What? I...oh." She nodded. "Go ahead."

Brooke came closer. "Sorry 'bout this." Then he brought the butt of his M16 down on the back of her head. Marissa crumpled to the ground, knocked out. Two of the soldiers carried her out of the cell, and they headed back out the way they came.

Hot Rod nodded with understanding as the EDC shuttle set down. His hands clanched in rage at Fakaddi for doing this to his friend, but he forced an air of calm.

"Let's get her back to Autobase, then. Minerva can sort it out."

After telling the other Stunticons that they weren't allowed to use Dragstrip as a table. Motormaster drag Dragstrip over to were Cryotek was. He had the feeling they might be sent to the CR chambers, or spend more time in the medbay then he'd like.

Knowing that he would have to wait to get a new Pretender shell, Carnivac snagged two energon drinks, and held one out to Weirdwolf.

Bludgeon: "We follow our orders, Stranglehold. Besides, I feel that the Wreckers have changed. Springer and his men are apparently willing to take what they want. They hate the Autobots enough now to kill them. Why fight what could well prove to be a valuable tool? Honor decrees that we find a more powerful opponent to better our skills. If we beat them, we are bettered by it. If not, that was fate. Beating on the weak is something else entirely." -checks the course settings- "Who knows, the upstarts may well prove to be his betters."

" I'll drink to that." Carnivac said as he looked in interest at Weirdwolf's head. Then took a sip of energon.

When Carnivac was done taking his sip, he said " I'm probably not the 'Con to ask, since your the first Headmaster I've had a conersation with and I was offline during the Headmaster vs. Pretender shell debate...at least until the fight broke out."

Pausing, Carnivac smiled at the memory before continueing " A Pretender shell, like everything, has both it's up and down sides. Like Headmasters, a Pretender shell can enhance it's wear's strength. Unlike a Headmaster, it enhances it's wears regenerative capabilities, sort of like a CR chamber and the shell can be added too or upgraded."

Carnivac descided to give Weirwolf some time to think it over, and wondered how he was going to explain the down sides.

StarBlade nodded in grateful response to Gigatron's answer. She didn't plan on letting Magnus live, since he had been her first target since rejoining her brethren. Maybe this time, that damned 'Bot would get the point and stay dead.

Hearing Cryotek ask if anyone needed repairs, StarBlade did a quick systems analysis. Finding no damage, she moved to lean against a wall, where she took out her kill log. Activating it, she entered in three names-Inferno, Firestar and Magnus. Next to Inferno and Firestar, she entered "Wounded, maybe dead." Next to the latest Magnus entry, she entered "Wounded, possibly fatally. If still alive, will rectify situation when it presents itself."

Windrazor walked with Hatemonger, strolling calmly down the corridors of Scorponok. He could only hope that his efforts were sufficient to secure his place in the Decepticons' ranks.

He glanced at the tall and hulking frame of the ground forces commander, and wondered silently what his next orders would be.

Ravage

2005-02-19, 04:31 AM

Hatemonger walked down the hall his massive frame showing the wear of the battle on the ground. However, his armour dinged one fusion cannon missing he still stood tall.

Finally, a mission that went well. Got to trash plenty of Autobots, plus being one of the few Decepticons to go toe to to with Grimlock and still be standing is going to look great on any resume he thought with a smile.

He then turned to Windrazor.

"Nice shooting out there, should take the Autobots some time to get back together for a counter attack. Thankfully with the parts Gigatron and Cryotek gathered." He almost said stole, but hey the Autobots would do the same thing if they needed too. "We should be able to get Metrotitan running soon and Trypticon is still near fully operational. Not that it would matter though, with the exception of Grimlock the Autobots seem to have become more cowardly." He commented to the new Air Commander.

Hatemonger saw a look of wonder in Windrazor's eye.

"New to the whole chain of command thing eh? Well don't let it get to you. I am glad I was able to go on the mission to Cybertron it seems like we see our home less and less these days. But anyway if your going to be a commander get use to getting lots of orders alot. But you did a good job none of your men are in a tomb so you did fine. Sadly over my days I've seen my share of good and bad. You just have to do what you can to make sure your men come home and your enemy gets written up in a casualty report."

********************

Cryotek looked over Dragstrip.

"Hmm took a beating out there eh." He opened up the Stunticons chest and turned off his pain sensors and set them so when he made the Stunticon come too the damaged areas would have no feeling. He shut his chest cavity and pressed some buttons to turn him back on.

"Ok tell me what you can't feel?" He asked the Stunticon hoping he came to. He then saw the other Decepticons lining up and got onto his com-link.

"Hook, you still online? If your able want to help me out with repairs over here?" He asked not totally worried if the Constructicon was operational but some help would be good.

He then looked at the other Stunticons.

"Your welcome to stay if you wish but some time in the CR chamber would be good for you as well." He said to the group.

Quake was having fun talking to his targetmasters.

"Now that was more fun that shooting at robo-fish in a barrel!" He quiped.

Main Briefing Room, Trypticon:

Leozak pondered. Gazing out of the window, overlooking the Carbombyian royal palace, he watched the human guards moving around, optics narrowing as he watched the Carbombyian army mustering it's troops. Snorting quietly, he turned as the doors whooshed open and his team walked in, taking seats at the table.

Jalgar slouched in his chair, putting his feet up on the conference table, crossed his arms behind his head, and smirked over at Leozak. "What's up, Captain?"

Drillhorn scowled at the sniper. "Get your feet off the table."

Jalgar shrugged. "Why? I'm comfortable."

Leozak cleared his throat. "Gentlemen......."

All optics turned towards their leader.

Leozak stayed standing, leaning against the chairback at the head of the table. "It would appear that the human in charge of this country is actually going through with his plan to try to get rid of us."

Hellbat chuckled. "You're kidding."

Leozak shook his head. "He's massing an army now. At a guess, we are supposed to be shocked and awed by this show of force, then run screaming into the..... uh...... late afternoon."

Killbison stood. "Want me to go step on him, Captain?"

Leozak chuckled. "I've got a better idea than just stepping on him, Killbison. A much better idea. Jalgar, you and Hellbat go to the royal palace. Request an audience with his royal whatever he is."

Hellbat snorted. "You honestly think they'll let us in?"

"Of course not. After they refuse to let you in, get him and bring him here. Unhurt, if possible."

Drillhorn looked at Leozak with a questioning look on his face. "And what will we be doing in the meantime?"

Leozak smiled. "Why, we do what all Destrons should do. Expanding the influence of our empire."

****************************

Fakkadi stood in his royal quarters, looking at his reflection in a full length mirror. The fatgiues looked good on him. Desert cammo for a desert campaign. His people would love it..... or else.... and he knew his own personal risk was negligible.

"Highness......."

Fakkadi turned, glaring at the fool who would dare interrupt him. "Wha......" The angry rebuke died on his lips as he looked at the large hole that had been burned through the man's lower torso. His servant made a few feeble hand movements, as if trying to find his abdomen, then collapsed face first to the floor. So, he fell back on the one thing he could think of: Belligerence. "What is the meaning of this?!?!?"

A large, dark blue and grey robotic bat flew in through the open door, a robotic jaguar following it in. The jaguar leaped forward, smashing through the window on the other side of the room, destroying the shutters and bars that were over it, and vanished as the bat grabbed the dictator by the tunic shoulders and carried him out the window, dropping him into Hellbat's waiting palm. The dictator felt a surge of panic rise, a small part of his mind noting the bat shifting and locking into place on Hellbat's chest. He fought down the panic, and even kept his balance as Hellbat's hand lifted, finally stopping so Hellbat was looking him straight in the eyes. "As king, president, and dictator for-"

"Shut up, insect. This is the second time Leozak has asked to see you, and this time, he's not taking a no for an answer." Transforming to fighter mode, Hellbat streaked back to Trypticon as Jalgar launched salvo after salvo of missiles as the assembled troops.

***********************
Command Deck, Trypticon:

Drillhorn put the finishing touches on the cage, placed before a bank of monitors. "It's ready, Leozak."

Hellbat walked onto the bridge, Jalgar following behind him. "And I've got the guest of honor." Gently, he placed Fakkadi into the cage and locked the door. He looked over at Drillhorn with a quizzical look in his optics. "Won't he need a litter box or something?"

Drillhorn snorted. "No. He won't be in there that long."

Leozak walked over and peered down at the human. "The time has come, I think, for a change."

Fakkadi bristled. "My people-"

"Are sheep," Leozak spat. "You've been less than gracious with us over the years, and now, you kicked us out of your country. The other Decepticons might stand for it, but I won't." He turned, and started to walk away. "For a time, I thought about destroying your country. Your oil reserves are a tempting target, and they are still vast enough that detonating them would, in short order, turn your country into a sheet of glass." He turned, leaning against the ops/tactical console. "But that would be a waste. Instead, I'm bringing democracy to your country." Leozak's grin became evil. "Destron democracy."

***************************

The Carbombyian army mobilized, tanks, fighter jets, ground troops with rocket launchers, they all mobilized.

Trypticon's topside hatch whirred open, and Breastforce strode out.

Leozak chuckled. "Fakkadi's got a front row seat to watching the decimation of his army. Breastforce, KILL THEM ALL!!!!!!"

Leozak, Gaihawk, and Hellbat leapt into the air, transforming to fighter mode and pouncing on the fighters in the air, while Drillhorn, Killbison, and Jalgar jumped to the ground, firing away at the approaching ground forces.

"Heh. Doesn't matter. Hellbat, take Mr. Fakkadi to his quarters. And make sure to lock him in. Drillhorn, set up somehting outside, see if we can get the people to come in. Let them know that we'll be setting up an interim government, with official, free elections to be held soon. And make sure to get the point across that any resistance, any at all, will be quashed." He then looked to Jalgar. "Contact the media. Let them know what we've done. Tell them that we hate injustice and oppression as much as they do, and that we are here to help freedom loving humans everywhere."

Jalgar chuckled. "You're kidding."

Leozak shook his head. "No. No matter what, we're going to be here for a while. Might as well try to get the natives on our side, hm?"

Windrazor afforded Hatemonger a smile of gratitude. His words of encouragement were of course lost on the acting Air Commander, who'd been in more battles than he could remember, but it was a rare Decepticon who'd not feel threatened by another who'd proved himself to be competent, and that was worthy of gratitude. And humility.

"I have much to learn about command," he told Hatemonger. "Or at least, being under another's command," he finished.

"Bah, in my mind the three most noted aspects of warfare: ground, air and sea, are all interlinked. Sucess in one area does not exactly mean sucess in the others but it certainly helps. Then of course now there is the idea of space combat as well but I doubt we have any ships that could luanch orbital bombardments now." He laughed.

"Anyway I feel we are all equals. Only Gigatron gives us the final orders. But unlike some of the leadership of the past he seems to understand the advantage of listening to all views. Megatron was like that if you had the spark to tell him your views in a somewhat respectful manner." He said remembering days past.

"But anyway as I said you did well, hit your targets and got your men home. Really there is not an awful lot more to combat or command than that."

Motormaster sighed, then headed towards the CR chambers with the other Stunticons.
--------------------

As Dragstrip came back online, his first thought was if this is the afterlife then he didn't know where to start complaining. After feeling his chest and higher skidplate regestered pain again ( mostly shown on his armor as a blacken, leaking wound...the fact that Menasor continued to use his injured arm and transforming into Robot mode hadn't helped), Dragstrip wished he had killed his gestalt mates when he had the chance.

All in all, when Dragstip heard what Cryotek said, the Stunticon couldn't help but give the unknown 'Con a look that clearly said 'your kidding...right?' Even in pain, Dragstrip couldn't help but wonder if it would have been better if the Stunticons had taken him to the CR chambers with them.

This could be one more reason to get revenge on them for...

Cryotek looked down at Dragstrips scowl, this coupled with now he could see what was leaking now helped. He brought his laser scalpel online and got to work repairing the wounds.

"After I close up some of these wounds you can help off to the CR chamber, can risk you bleeding to death before you get there." He said looked down at the yellow stunticon.

He then got onto his com-link to Hook.

"Just the more medics or at least repair minded folk around here the faster we can slag more Autobots." He said into his com-link.
"No worries I can do what I can here and send them off to the CR chambers."

Hearing Cryotek's call for repairs, Echoshift took a moment to give himself a once-over. Most noticably, one of his wings ached from repeated hits to more or less the same spot. There was also a gash at the outer edge of his other wing. But aside from that, it was mostly just scuffs and sooty burn marks. Nothing major. The grey jet judged that a mech like him would probably be lower on the priority list for repairs, so for the moment he the let those with more serious injuries go first.

Besides, there were refreshments on offer. And the Eurofighter wanted in. Well... they'd been told they'd earned it after all-- and by the Command, no less. A few days off duty spent celebrating a job well done didn't sound half bad to his audios.

Echoshift claimed one of the offered cans of energon for himself and popped it open, taking a good-sized gulp. As an afterthought, he picked up another and tossed it to Tracer.

Fly spoke ah our esteemed air commander has decided to join in
before I reveal my thoughts maybe we could ascertain his insights into what is currently happening inside Autobase, from one of his many sources he has in place perhaps.

I do concur with him in my current state I am only half as effective as i would normally be , if it was not for my plane mode , I am sure our friendly fuel auditor would be withdrawing my energon rations as inefficent .

However Wheels did attack Hatemonger , I'm afraid as the head unit I have all the brains of the pair of us , while he has the brawn , he does tend to act on instinct

now Hatemonger Sir I imagine that had Wheels not been captured in his rather manic attempt to regain ou r honour , he would have been court martialled maybe even executed , which would leave myself in a rather problematic situation , so it is in my best interests to exploit the situation so that if he is ever liberated or escapes , he will be welcomed back with open arms and not shot out of hand

Fact 1 : he attacked you under mistaken belief that you were out to get him.

Fact 2 : he is a poor injured all alone half robot whose other half as far as he is concerned was shot to death by his own side

Fact 3 : the autobots are a load of guillible fools for the most part

Hatemonger Sir all he needs to do is lay low monitoring the comings and goings into medbay , which would give us an accurate picture of their force levels and when they remember him spin the nice kind Autobots a sad story of treachery and betrayal , and maybe get into a positon where he can learn more, I mean look what happened with the combaticons

As he entered the medbay and heard the question issued, Tracer glaced briefly at Echoshift before looking back in Cryotek's direction. Either the scientist was joking or not paying attention, as it was very hard to overlook the large gash down his front from fighting dinobots.

Tracer decided that for the moment he could be pacient, and chose sarcasm. "Gee, you know, I'm really not sure," He started. "We were in this brawl with the dinobots, there was a bunch of shots flying around and I think one of them knicked me with a blade, but I don't know much about swords, so I came to have a second opinion..."

Gigatron stepped through the wide doors gracefully, clicking on his radio as he did so.

"In a moment, Hatemonger."

With a few strides toward the center of the room, Gigatron set optics on Spinister and nodded his head toward the door.

"Be gone."

Still watching the Targetmaster for a moment, Gigatron stopped at the center of the bridge, folded his hands behind his back, and looked up slightly.

"Now, Scorponok. You wished to speak to me."

Warcry

2005-02-21, 07:54 PM

Command Deck, Scorponok

"As you wish." Spinister stood and headed for the exit.

"There is no need for that," Scorponok's booming voice filled the room. "The Targetmaster has been here long enough to have seen..." The citycon chuckled. "Well, let's just say that he's probably figured out what I'm about to tell you. And if not, I'd rather he know the truth instead of spreading rumours and speculation."

A low growl emitted from Spinister's throat, showing his extreme irritation at being classified as a potential gossip. He stopped by the main door and gave Gigatron a questioning glance.

Scorponok continued, ignoring the Targetmaster's discomfort.

"I find myself in an interesting position, Gigatron. My head is gone, something which you were perfectly positioned to stop, but couldn't. And I have no interest in replacing it with another worthless shell like the one I fashioned before."

"I've also discovered something else. Without a smaller form like I had when Lord Zarak was alive, I find this massive body somewhat...limited. So I've decided to kill two birds with one stone."

A side door slid open, revealing an empty room lit only by the arc-welders of a team of scorpion drones working on some sort of object.

"See for yourself."

Runamuck and Runabout silently entered the CR chamber.

"I don't think anyone's here," Runabout whspered.

"Good," Runamuck replied, opening the hatch on one of the CR pods. "With any luck, we can get repaired and back into action before anyone notices we're gone."

Runabout nodded and likewise opened a pod. The two hatches then slid shut with the two Transformers inside.

Gigatron looked over his shoulder at Spinister with a neutral expression. He cared none whether the Targetmaster was there; he'd only asked for privacy because Scorponok had. Regardless, the situation was solved, and Gigatron gave it no more attention. Instead he looked toward the object of Scorponok's design. Although it was far from complete, Gigatron had no difficulty decyphering it out. His optics flashed, and a grin came to him.

"I like your ethic, Scorponok. It would be tragic for so fine a mind to be trapped here while the rest of the Decepticons return to the Nemesis... Continue your work with priority. Certainly you'll report to me when it's finished."

Windrazor nodded as Hatemonger spoke to Gigatron.

"I need to get myself repaired of these few scratches," he said, gesturing to his wounds."I shall be in the med bay," he finished as he walked off down a side corridor.

He activated a wall panel, and studied it for a moment, before ascertaining the best route to medbay, and walking off down the corridor.

A few minutes later, he entered the bustling medbay, and spotted Cryotek.

"Ah, Cryotek. I could use some time in a CR chamber. Could you point me in the right direction?"

Ravage

2005-02-22, 01:42 AM

Hatemonger nodded.

"Acknowledged Gigatron." He said waiting for the commanders response.

Cryotek laughed.

"Follow the trail of oil." he said to Windrazor, then smiled and pointed then set to work on Ruckus.

Sixswitch

2005-02-22, 01:59 AM

Windrazor looked down at his feet, and chuckled as he saw that Cryotek was right. A trail of oil droplets led back out the door that he'd entered from.

Sure enough, a short walk later found the Air Commander entering a largish room with several cylindrical chambers dotted around the walls. White lights in the floor provided the only illumination in the otherwise dark room, aside from red and green lights showing which of the chambers were occupied.

Windrazor walked over to an empty chamber and keyed open the door. Stepping inside, he flipped open a panel on his arm and withdrew a thin wire.

CR Chambers were a Cybertronian invention, and during his time in exile, he didn't have the luxury of access to one. Rather, he'd paid a scientist in a distant part of the galaxy to configure his body with input that would allow any standard energy source to power his autorepair systems. Luckily, CR chambers included several power outlets, so he plugged the wire into one of them now, and with a mental switch, activated his systems and powered down, yet proximity sensors in his chest would awake him immediately, should the door to the chamber open. A mercenary warrior with many enemies could not afford the luxury of a complete shutdown.

Neither can a future Decepticon Air Commander, Windrazor thought as he went offline.

After getting the dust cleaned off of her, Nightracer entered the place where Scorponok's CR chambers were located. Upon entering the room, she noticed that Dragstrip had his gun out and was pointing it at the CR chamber Motormaster was in.

Clearing her vocalizer, Nightracer got Dragstrip to turn his glare on her. The two Decepticons stared at each other, trying to descide if it was worth it. Finally Dragstrip returned his gun to subspace, and turned back to look at the chamber Motormaster was in.

" I am better then you...then all of you." The yellow Stunticon hissed, before going and entering a CR chamber himself.

Nightracer would have rolled her optics if she could, to kill Motormaster now would have been a waste...the Decepticons probably would need that CR chamber undamaged.

Still, Nightracer thought as she entered a CR chamber, if there had been any other Decepticons around (not counting the ones already in the chambers), would they have stopped Dragstrip or watched?

"I'm so glad you approve, Gigatron." The citycon chuckled. "Fasttrack will inform you when we're done. This stage, anyway. My body will have to be modified somewhat to be compatable. And while that work is being done, there are several other long-overdue upgrades that should be seen to."

The door to the shadowed room slid shut.

"I trust you'll keep this to yourselves for now? We wouldn't want the less...patriotic elements of the army to get ideas, after all."

His systems telling him that Bludgeon had docked, Scorponok thrusted away from Denver, headed towards Carbombya with all available speed.

Triggerhappy looked over at Hook " How about patching me up Hook? " the Targetmaster said

Leozak: -seated in one of the chairs, staring with slight amusement at the human camera crew standing on the table before him-

"And now, we go live to Hans Romulous, who is bringing us a live interview with the leader of the group of Decepticons who have captured Fakkadi. Hans?"

Hans: -touches the earpiece as he brings up the microphone- "Thanks, George. I have with me here Leo Zack, the leader of Breast Force, the group of Decepticons who have captured Carbombiyian dictator Abdul Fakkadi."

Leozak: -chuckles and nods- "Thank you, Hans. My name is Leozak. One word."

Hans: "Ah. First, Leozak...... Why? Why step in and depose a dictator? Was it because he tried to kick you out of his country?"

Leozak: "First and foremost, no. We did not do this because Mr. Fakkadi attempted to kick us out of his country. We've seen how he treats his people. Telling us to leave is one thing. Killing your own people is something else entirely."

Hans: "So you're saying that you did this because it was the right thing to do?"

Leozak: "Yes."

Hans: "Does the fact that your base requires so much fuel to operate have anything to do with this decision?"

Hans: "And what do you think of the fact that your fellow Decepticons have launched a vicious attack on the Autobot encampment in the United States?"

Leozak: "While tragic, Hans, remember, we are in the middle of a war with the Autobots. It's a sad fact that we are fighting this war here, on your planet. But we didn't bring it here."

Hans: "Do you believe that this is what the people of Carbombiya want?"

Leozak: "I believe so. Certainly, they desire freedom from oppression, freedom from living a wretched existence under the oppressive thumb of a dictator. This seems the best way to do it."

Hans: "And how will the interim government be set up?"

Leozak: "We've been talking with the various tribal and civic leaders, and have set up a tribunal to help guide the country through this state of transition. Once those who are fighting to get Fakkadi freed understand that this is what needs to happen to help this country, I sincerely hope that they will stop. The only ones they're hurting are their own people." -looks at the camera- "And I'd like to make this appeal to the UN and the EDC. Please, send help and supplies. There are only six of us, and I fear that the terrorists and rebels are going to organize and start attacking in force. We've been able to protect the civilians so far, but we're getting stretched pretty thin. But what we need most are medical supplies."

Hans: "So.... what do you get out of this?"

Leozak: "All we ask is that a small percentage of the oil production of this country be converted to energon.... say, ten percent. The rest, and the overflowing coffiers of the former regime will be used to better this country, to help the people."

Hans: "And the other countries in the region? If there are dictatorships there, will you tear them down as well?"

Leozak: "If they are oppressing their people, killing them, then we will stop them."

Hans: "Do you have anything to say to the rebels, if they are watching?"

Leozak: "I do." -leans into the camera- "Surrender now. All you are doing is killing your countrymen for no good reason than your own failure to grasp the bigger picture. You leader is captured, your cause is lost. We will give you no quarter when we find you."

Hans: "Thank you for your time, Leozak. This is Hans Romulous, reporting for ZNN. Back to you, George." -lowers mic, looks over as the door whooshes open and Hellbat walks in, leans over, and whispers something to Leozak-

Leozak: -stands- "Excellent. Good work, Hellbat." -looks down at the news team- "We know where the largest of the rebel bases is. Want to come along?"

Weirdwolf spoke :

if follow me will you , set in my quarters have I ,

Weirdwolf walked down the corridor towards his quarters hoping
that Carnivac would follow

Entering his quarters he sat on a strange looking chair which seemed to be made of melted parts and random detritus , the room was qute sparse , to one side was a smaller sub room , a curtain seperating the two was half open , a human sized room could be glimpsed through it , on the walls there were wrestling trophies , and pictures of fights , scattered amongst these were battered images torn from magazines , where flesh pink seemed to be the dominant colour , a empty alcohol bottle wa son the floor on the threshold of the two rooms,

The larger room was much tidier there was a ledge on which Weirdwolf could recharge . to one side opposite the entry to the smaller room was a desk and a gun metal shelving unit . on the desk top and shelves were several data cubes , books and other materials , some of the titles were visible Tacitus , The complete campaigns of Megatron , The Battle for Iaacon a strategic overview were some of the many titles

on a shelf over the main entrance was a trophy wall , on display were parts of robots , some heads and some crossed weaponry , the parts were mainly red, white , blue and yellow but scattered amongst them were a few parts coloured in black , crimson and purple each part had a precisley written label . In a dark corner were other parts in a jumbled heap , with no labels or indication of where they had come from . In the centre of the room was a table and a set of drawers on the table rested a chess set , with two colours purple and red , each piece was finely crafted and ressembled robots , the pawns were cassetibots/cons , micromasters and minibots , on the red side the two knights were represented by the figures of Sideswipe & Hotrod , the Bishops by Red Alert and Prowl , The Castles by Metroplex and Fort Max and so on . On top of the drawers were several energon containers of fine quality and vintage. On one side of the table was Weirdwolfs battered fused chair on the other a standard issue chair . pushed to one side was a smaller chair on its seat lay a small publication in nebulan called " Chess playing for dummies" the book was battered and stained with a footprint on 1 cover , it looked like someone had taken their frustration out on it and there was a corner turned down on page four

Gigatron waved a hand dismissively, frowning slightly to indicate his incredulousness of the opposite option. He turned for the door, still speaking loudly to the city as he passed Spinister.

"Of course. I'm sure the men will appreciate a surprise as much as I..."

The broad double doors slid open at once as Gigatron approached, and he passed confidently out into the hall.

"Very good, Bludgeon. I suspect you and your men will require repairs. You may deliver your report to me in Scorponok's infirmary."

Rounding a corner at the end of the long hall, Gigatron spotted Hatemonger and closed the gap between them with long strides.

"Report, General. What's this about a captive?'

2005-02-22, 09:56 PM

Hatemonger nodded.

"Seems as though the Ducon Flywheels has a portion of him captured by the Autobots. Wheels was captured during the battle. He shot me in behind for reasons unknown but then assisted in the combat with the Autobots. Perhaps after I tried to save him from Autobot fire. Anyway, he suffered damage and was captured. Right now he is giving Fly information about Autobot movments and actions from the brig." He paused for a moment.

"What troubles me more than this is Wheels is reporting Blitzwing in the mix. After the Combaticons and Soundwave we don't need any more defections more importantly I worry about what information Blitzwing could be giving them."

"Thats the current situation. Wheels is continuing to give Fly data and Fly is giving it to me. I can have him give it to you as well." He said finishing his report.

"I think the Autobots lack knowledge of Ducon technology. Apperently they think Wheels is just stuck there with no means of communication to other Decepticons. It worries me that they could dismantle Wheels to learn about the technology but thats not really the Autobot way is it." He then pointed to a drone.

"Go retrieve Fly and bring him here." The drone buzzed and gathered a few more drones then went to pick up the Ducon.

The CR chamber beeped twice, and Windrazor awoke instantly. He disconnected his connection from the chamber, and the wire retracted back into his arm socket, the panel sliding smoothly shut. As the chamber detected his woken state, the door slid open, and he stepped out.

Taking but one glance around the room, he walked to the door, and exited into the corridor. Another glance at a nearby map panel showed him the way to the armoury, where he used the autoloaders to rearm his missile racks.

"Windrazor to Gigatron. I am fully operational. What are your orders?"

Weirdwolf's room

Carnivac had indeed been fallowing Weirdwolf and took some time to look around the room... noticing that Weirdwolf's room had more stuff in it then his did. Carnivac knew his "habit" of having an almost bare room was because he didn't spend a lot of time collecting things that held no true value to him...and Carnivac was pretty sure that any "trophies" from his hunts (besides the Autobot heads) would be frowned appond...expecaully when thay started to stink. Almost snorting at the Nebulon's room, Carnivac spent a long time looking at the collection of Autobot heads before turning to face Weirdwolf.

Ratbat watched the goings-on around the world with mounting interest.

Such chaos, such destruction...and we didn't even have to expend any energy to cause it! How...efficient. He hissed. But as for our friends on Trypticon...

The fuel auditor typed up a short text message (hard to do when you have no hands), then encoded it and sent it to Trypticon's comm grid.

Then, after enough time had passed that Breastforce could have recieved and decrypted it, he opened an unsecured voice channel.

Brigadier General Robert Samson watched the Decepticon news conference with a look of disgust. After finally it ended he rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Oh, well played," he congradulated the Decepticons. "Well played indeed, you bastards."

With his showy and blatantly false request for EDC aid, this Leozak had put the UN in a very tight spot. They couldn't possibly give in to the request, but if the Security Council succumbed to Arab League pressure and attacked Carbombya now...

It'll be a PR disaster, either way.

A junior officer came into Samson's office, saluting. "Sir, word from our Regional Base in Tripoli. We're picking up a transmission between Trypticon and another Decepticon city. Uncoded."

Samson stroked his moustache, frowning. As Director of Interagency Relations, he knew that nothing ever came this easily. However, the slim, sixtyish Englishman was too pragmatic to ignore it completely.

Medbay, Scorponok

Having taken part in the aerial assault on Fort Max, Thundercracker was now in the medbay to make himself useful. He was not a specialized medic, of course, but his skills were sufficient to assist and help those who had only minor injuries.

During the repairs he had to undergo after the mission to Cybertron onboard Trypticon, the glitch in his brain module that had been responsible for the somewhat - strange behaviour he'd exhibited recently had also been found and fixed. Thundercracker was quite grateful for that - it was probably a small miracle he still had anything resembling sanity after having been dead twice...

" I can imagine, it took me quite a while to get my head collection and artists always need new materials," Carnivac said as he sat down in the chair, not saying what he did to the pieces of his "unworthy" prey (or the worthy for that matter.)

After briefly trying to figure out when the last time he sat in a chair in robot mode was, his cerebro-circuitry turned to other things and Carnivac found himself asking " What did happen to Swindle or any of the other Combaticons anyway?"

Carnivac hadn't expected that bit of information...The Combaticons had been low on the list of 'Cons he would have suspected to go over to the Autobot side. Even as Carnivac thought about it, the answer seemed a bit simple. Swindle...if it was in his interest, yes. Blast-off...who knew, there might be some truth in that rumor about Blast-off and Sky Lynx having been twin sparks seperated at their creation. Onslaught...he never really got over that imprisonment thing and would do anything to keep from having it done to him again. Brawl...was he even smart enough to know what he was doing. Vortex...Carnivac couldn't see any reason for it. All in all, Carnivac could come up with a few words for it.

" Slagging idiots" Carnivac said as he accepted the drink Weirdwolf pored for him. Still, Carnivac listened as Weirwolf started to explain about chess with growing interest...in some ways chess sounded like a hunt...a very complex hunt were strategy and creativity were the weapons, but a hunt none the less.

Windrazor nodded, and headed down the corridor, the layout of Scorponok now imprinted in his memory banks.

"On my way, Gigatron," he replied to the transmission.

As he walked down the corridor, he glanced around, drones scuttled along the walls, some doing routine maintenance, others en route to somewhere at the behest of the city's main brain. Windrazor wasn't sure how all of the Decepticon cities operated. He'd never seen a sentient city before arriving on Earth a short while ago and helping to blow one up in the recent battle. He assumed a central AI computer, but other than that, he didn't know. Making a note to read up on the subject soon, he walked on.

He entered a lift, and keyed in a command to take him to the flight deck. As he stopped and waited, he reflected on the battle that he'd just been a part of. As they departed the field, and he'd stood with Hatemonger atop the main entry ramp, he was gladdened by the carnage they'd wrought on the Autobots. But what of his own performance? As far as he knew, he hadn't achieved any kills. Even that damned Micromaster had managed to get up. How he was still standing, the Air Commander didn't know.

Nevertheless, his personal anger at not killing any Autobots aside, he knew that the strategy for the air assault was sound, and the AA guns were eliminated in very short order. He also knew that his actions had kept many of his men alive in the initial stages of the battle. Still, he wasn't best pleased.

The Air Commander left the lift, and walked a short distance along the corridor, and stepped through a door into Flight Deck 1.

Cryotek looked up a bit aplogetically.

"Sorry about that folks I am starting to feel like a fleshling fast food resturant." He quipped the locked at Tracer and Echoshift.

"What can I do for you guys? Like I said I am repairing major wounds and sending everyone off for time in the CR chambers." He asked. Checking his repair tools charge.

**********************

Hatemonger smiled as the CR chamber did its job. The battle went overall very well. Yes a con was captured but he was acting as an inside spy something the Decepticons lacked with Soundwave being in custody for going rogue.

Plus with the battle he did the one thing he wanted to do to the Autobots. Placed fear in them he held his own against their best and even fought the so-called might Grimlock to a standstill. If anything the Autobots would now fear his frame when one the battlefield.

When a CR chamber reopened, Deadend walked out without a word and waited for the other Stunticons to awaken. Breakdown's chamber openned first, followed by Wildrider's.

" It will be a while before they wake up." Deadend said calmly, gestering with one hand at the CR chambers that held Motormaster and Dragstrip.

" They were damaged more then we were." Breakdown said, trying not to grin.

" 'Corse it proves the 'Bots can get somethin' right." Wildrider said, " To bad MM wouldn't let us make Draggy a table."

"Quite." Deadend said, as he started to leave the CR chambers' room " Or better yet have Scrapper do it."

If nothing else, I want this documented."

"You will explain yourself!" Ratbat said with even more venom than would be expected. "You removed a useful pawn and are turning our slave nation into a democracy!" He spat out the last word with absolute disgust. "If I were to have you executed for treason, there would be no complaints from Lord Gigatron."

StarBlade was still leaning against a wall near where all the repairs were being done. She had no where to be, and wasn't damaged, aside from some scorching on her one side from Magnus' missle. That didn't bother her much, since she was black and grey. She could buff off the ash and such later.

Lifting her head at hearing a voice, StarBlade noticed Ramjet, and smirked. So, he made it.

After getting some free energon drinks, Breakdown, Deadend and Wildrider invaded an unused table in the corner of the common room. All three of the Stunticons removed from subspace what looked like a deck of playing cards.

Flipping through the cards in his deck, Breakdown said " Who wants to start."

Wildrider didn't look up from his cards " Ain't we suppose ta figure out where we're fightin' first?"

Deadend drunk some of his energon drink before saying " Quite..." With that Deadend brought out a datapad and a some maps from his subspace pocket, flipping through the maps until he choose one. That map was spread out on the table while the others went back into subspace.

Wildrider and Breakdown took a moment to look up from their cards and look at the map.

"YES!!!" Wildrider yelped, as Breakdown shook his head and looked over at Deadend.

" You know how Wilder gets when..." Breakdown started to say, but Deadend interupted him.

" Thats why we are not playing with energon goodies" Deadend said " or anything else Wildrider would like to add to this game."

Grinning in amusement, Carnivac watched as Scalpel and Ratchet move off the board, before moving another pawn. Remembering what Weirdwolf told him, Carnivac made sure that this time he moved the pawn diagonally until the pawn ( Steeljaw this time) jumped the Ratbat pawn and started to rip it apart.

When Ratchet and Scalpel appeared, the two chess pieces had a hard time getting what remained of Ratbat away from the Steeljaw pawn. Carnivac could have sworn that the pawn was disappointed that the other pawn got away.

" Slag it, remind me to kill Swindle if we ever run across him," Carnivac said. How dare the Combaticon went Autobot before Carnivac found something worth buying from him. He really wanted of these kind of chess boards.

"Aren't you sick of that? If somebody wants fixed, they go to Hook. You are gonna fix that."

Sledge shook his head, grabbed a protruding bar on the medtable next to him, and began climbing.

Knockout closely followed Sledge up the impromptu ladder, already grinning gently about the chance to work on a patient. He needed to flex his intellectual muscle... Once on the bed, Sledge plopped down on the edge and dropped his chin in his hand. Knockout raised his hands and waved as effectively as he could.

"Hey!" the Micromaster called. "Who needs a doctor?"

Hammer returned quietly to his shadow in the corner, where Grit waited uninterestedly with folded arms. The nearby door opened, and Stonecruncher stepped in with a puzzled look on his faceplate.

Stonecruncher strode through the gargantuan door in the corner of the room confidently, his optics already locked on his destination. The mess hall was mostly quiet as usual; in this modern world, most Decepticons preferred to recharge in the privacy of their personal quarters. Stonecruncher, however, was far too sociable for that. He loved little more than to chug a can after a hard day's work in the company of his compatriots.

The bar was hidden in a dimly-lit corner of the room, one wall separating it from the rest. The seats before it were empty, of course, save one Decepticon who'd had a bit too much and gone into stasis. Stopping at the foot of a stool, Stonecruncher looked up and snapped his fingers.

"Two cans a' premium multi. No iodine."

The barkeep drone whirred for a moment and quickly produced the order, which was set carefully at Stonecruncher's feet. He reached over one can (nearly his own size) to twist off the top and hoisted it to his chest.

"Great stuff," he told Barricade with a swig. "So how many kills did you boys get in the fight?"

Knockout looked over his work once more and nodded to himself, an unabashed grin showing his satisfaction. He shut down his iron and hopped off Ramjet. Sledge looked toward the door, obviously unappreciative of their accomplishment.

Before Ramjet walked away to get his repairs, StarBlade answered him.

"I haven't seen hide nor hair of Dirge, sorry..." As Ramjet headed off for repairs, the assassin shook her head some. "Its still hard to believe that he actually has no problem with me now... I guess once he stopped being a bodyguard, his aprehensions about an assassin walking around went the way of the dinosaurs...." This was just her talking to herself, so she didn't expect a response from Thrust.

Narrowing his optics, Carnivac leaned over and snatched the minature Blades before he could connect to the rest of Defensor. When Carnivac leaned back, he held a struggling Blades in his hand.

When Dragstrip's CR chamber opened up, Motormaster was more then ready. The leader of the Stunticons acted before Dragstrip even noticed he was there. Motormaster grabbed the other Stunticon's shoulder hard as he drove his other fist into were Dragstrip's wound had been.

Pulling his fist back, Motormaster grimly smiled down at Dragstrip, then said " For someone who says they're th' best..."

" I AM the best." Dragstrip hissed out, interupting Motormaster, who punched him again, this time harder and in the face. This time when Motormaster pulled back his fist, some energon came with it.

"What'ya ARE is a malfunction Vector Sigma stuck me with." Motormaster hissed back " Someone who is a step away from goin' to th' smelters 'cause of his own idioticy."

Dragstrip was about to say something, but Motormaster used his fist to shut the other Stunticon up.

" Ya made at least three mistakes today alone," Motormaster said " First ya seem ta forgotten that your place in life (Motormaster punched Dragstrip)...IS to be whatever I see fit to let ya be...be it warrior, shield, or punchin' bag (Dragstrip was hit again). Second, ya didn't follow through with yer pathetic little murder attempt...who the slag do ya think ya are, Starscream?"

With that being said, Motormaster let go of Dragstrip's shoulder and started to use the other Stunticon as a punching bag, slightly amused when Dragstrip tried to fight back. When Motormaster was done, he left Dragstrip on the floor...now covered with dents and leaking in places.

Before Motormaster left the room, he heard Dragstrip ask " And what was third mistake?"

" Thinkin' yer the best" Motormaster said, then left. Dragstrip's fist hit the floor before he pulled himself up, limped back to a CR chamber and reentered it.

Coming into the mess hall after the Battlechargers and hearing what they were shouting, Nightracer was glad that her face mask hid her expression. Sighing, Nightracer discided that she needed a drink before she delt with anymore stupidity and headed towards the bar.

After picking up a drink by herself form a distracted Bartender, she took out a hidden tube (tipped with a hollow needle like thing) out of a compartment in her left arm and stuck it in the drink. Now able to drink without taking off her mask, Nightracer turned to look at Runabout and Runamuck, stared at them a while, then asked " Are you done yet?"

Windrazor looked on as Gigatron spoke to Fly, somewhat amused by the latter's rather bizzare appearance. He simply stood to one side, letting the two converse, knowing that he'd be called upon when needed. Or, that he'd butt in if he felt that he needed to. One thing was certain, this development suggested more action for the Decepticon's Acting Air Commander, and he liked that.

Ruckus raised his drink to Stonecruncher :

" couldn't get where we do without back up and logistics . I damaged a few blew ones arm right off and I think I got a couple of hits on Fort Max. Don't suppose you guys know where I can get some spare parts , the medics said they could do a patch job but I quite fancy something in chrome."

*************************************************

Fly turned to face Gigatron trying to maintain an air of poise and dignity , despite his incogruous circumstances, partially transformed balancing on a drone, the drone turned slowly and it toook a while before he could see Gigatron :

"Greetings Lord Gigatron . The situation is as follows ,I was hit by a stray round from Hatemonger on an attack run on snipers on the roof of Fort Max , due to a breakdown in communications my other half Wheels ,was under the impression that it was deliberate.

He fired on Hatemonger thinking I was dead our mental link having been broken by me being knocked unconscious. Hatemonger in his mercy spared my non too intelligent partner , who then in a foolish attempt to either kill himself or regain our honour charged most of the Autobot forces .

As a consequence he was injured knocked unconscious and captured by the Autobots . He was placed in a holding cell adjacent to their medical bay , where he seems to have been forgotten , he can to some extent observe and hear the comings and goings from the aforementioned medbay. Which he then relays to me by our mental link of which the autobots seem to be unaware.

So far he has ascertained that Ultra Magnus is alive , details of their casualty figures, a death possibly of Kup, some scheme of theirs possibly involving Blitzwing and energon and the arrival of 1 human fleshling in an unconscious state.

As for myself as you can see I have limited mobility without my other half . I estimate that as long as Wheels is in this particular holding cell , he will be able to supply low to medium grade intelligence , if he is moved to the brig the amount of intelligence will decline.

A logical possibility is that Wheels plays up the attack on Hatemonger , claim that i was executed for this attack and he as half a duocon has no part in the decepticon army, the weak peace loving autobots may then take pity on him putting him in a position to gather further intelligence or deploy him as however you see fit Lord Gigatron Sir ."

Somewhere:

Somewhere, a man sits on a woven mat, waiting.

Not for money. Not for power. Simply for information.

The room is dim, the walls far enough away, no light finds it's way into the room.

So he waits, meditating on the next course of action, only moving when two men file into the room. His eyes open, his long beard rustling slightly as his head raises. "Well?"

The two men kneel, briefly prostrating themselves before the bearded man. The one on the left spoke. "I am sorry, sir. There was not a casuality."

The bearded man's nostrils flared briefly, but that was the only indication of any reaction he might have had to the news. "And our agents?"

Swallowing slightly, the one on the right said, "They have been taken from the ranks of the prisoners."

"And?"

Sighing, he continued. "They have been turned over to the civilian government of Carbombiya along with the hidden explosives they carried." Then he scowled. "At last reports, they've been telling anyone and everyone who will listen all that they know about the Jihad. Fortunately, their numbers are few, and the damage is easily contained."

The bearded man nodded. "Then perhaps it is time we started being more direct......"

Leozak: -slams fist onto table- "Every minute the EDC and the UN hesitates, the people of this country are put in greater risk. Why haven't they called?" -looks over at Hellbat- "How goes the interrogation?"

Hellbat: "The humans we captured from this 'Islamic Jihad' organization are convinced of two things: Their belief in Allah, and that we are demons."

Leozak: -leonine ears on his helmet twitching- "Demons?"

Killbison: -horns on his helmet twitching- "Us?"

Hellbat: -batwing-esque fins on the sides of his helmet twitching slightly- "Us. They believe that it is the divine will of Allah to kill us, as we are demons invading their land." -shrugs- "They are fanatics."

Metrotitan's piping system sure did get tight in place. Overkill squeezed through many difficult spots, nearing a meeting place up ahead where sever of the pipes fed into a bigger central chamber. He didn't understand much of these tunnels, but he knew what he was lookng for in here.

The route took him downhill slightly and he dropped into the chamber. He shined a light around inside, against the far corner lay two figures - Laserbeak and Ravage. Both lay still...deactivated no doubt to avoid detection, awaiting orders from the master.

He must awaken them...

"Spare parts... Hm. Not me, but my buddy Excavator could hook y'up with somethin'. Yo, X. Get down to mess. I got somebody who needs your expertise."

Stonecruncher clicked off the radio just as the Battlechargers made their raucous entrance. He snickered at the exchange and raised his voice so Nightracer could hear him.

"Aw, lighten up, dollface. The mech's only havin' some fun."

Slightly intoxicated, Stonecruncher went oblivious to the notion that the sniper could kill him with little more than a thought...

Windrazor nodded at Fly.
"Which is a tactical advantage best kept among the Decepticons," he concurred. Then he turned to Gigatron and spoke casually.

"The way I see it, we have two choices. Either we go in and rescue him soon, while the Autobots are still reeling from our attack. Or, we terminate him remotely using the link between Fly and Wheels. However, I don't believe that the latter is a wise course of action in the circumstances. For one, the intelligence he gathers may be useful. Second, as far as I'm aware, there are only two Duocon transformers in the Decepticon ranks. They're a valuable commodity, not to be squandered.

Gigatron raised a finger and flicked it once toward Windrazor.

"Precisely my conclusion. As much as the intelligence may prove useful, we cannot allow our opportunity to pass. Windrazor, assemble a unit to perform the rescue operation. You may wish to bring our friend here to help guide your way."

Gigatron puncuated his order with a tilt of the head just so to reflect the light in his optics. They say that ninety percent of communication is nonverbal, so it wasn't difficult for Gigatron's gesture to add, "And kill him if he's lying." He turned abruptly and started off, confident there would be no further questions.

Stonecruncher guffawed loudly at Nightracer's insult, his optics floating up to Ruckus with a slightly incredulous expression. He looked back to the sniper and raised a hand before him.

"Woah now. Sorry I'm not an intellectual giant like you, lady."

Through the commotion, Excavator scuffled in quietly and made his way toward Stonecruncher. He was glad his partner was distracted; he hoped to do his business and be gone before the argument ended.

" The old 'kill the unneeded' play" Carnivac said thoughtfully while looking at the chess board " that usually only works with Autobots..."

" It's more common sense, then intelligence." Nightracer said to Stonecruncher. Nightracer didn't add that she thought that common sense and intelligence were things that some Decepticons lacked.

Gigatron stopped suddenly in his tracks, like a statue frozen in time. His foot claws gripped the floor while Scorponok transformed again - when the motion was complete, he again took step and passed into the medbay.

"Shortly, Ratbat. I do look forward to your report."

Gigatron paused in the doorway, his optics panning over the bustling infirmary. A few Decepticons hailed weakly to his coming, but he paid them no concern. His feet pulled slowly over the floor of the long hall, giving his optics time to scan for the target. He sensed he was close as he entered the CR corridor.

"Bludgeon, come. We must have words post-haste."

Knockout pulled a laser scalpel and began cutting at the seams of a side panel on Ground Hog's head. With the protection out of the way, he flicked on his chest-mounted flashlights and began probing the inner workings.

Excavator looked nervously in the direction of his name and gave a small nod to Ruckus. He shuffled across the floor and climbed onto an adjacent barstool. He needed to stand to be as close to the Triggercon's height as he could. (He understood he may be difficult to hear over the noise of the hall.)

"What can I do for you?"

On the floor, Stonecruncher simply chuckled at Nightracer's comment. He had begun to turn toward the bar to order another drink, but his vision was distracted by a giant black foot flying at him. Mildly slowed as he was, Stonecruncher could do little but attempt (and fail) to grasp the foot as it connected square with his torso, sending him soaring back into the wall. The metal proved stronger than his small weight could penetrate, and he bounced to land on his face on the floor.

"You overgrown can opener," Stonecruncher growled at Runabout as he pushed himself up. "You're lucky you only did that to me... I'll just take yer arm off for it!"

A few heavy steps took Stonecruncher back toward Runabout; he wound back as he crossed the void and threw a heavy punch at the Battlecharger's shin.
